Description

Explore the complex history of female emancipation through the lens of capital punishment. Death Comes to the Maiden: Sex and Execution 1431-1933 provides a deep look into how women were treated by the legal and social systems of their time. From the burning of Joan of Arc in 1431 to the transformative events of the French Revolution, this Routledge Library Edition examines the lives of individual victims to reveal the reality of their experiences. This work investigates the specific sexual attitudes and prejudices that women faced when condemned to death. By looking at the horrific treatment of those denounced as witches and the gruesome realities of the scaffold, the text offers a historical perspective on the connection between gender and justice. It is an essential read for those interested in women's history, sociology, and the evolution of legal standards regarding female autonomy and rights.
